This engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, titled "Heilige Theonas als kluizenaar" (Saint Theonas as a Hermit), depicts the saint in a simple setting. Theonas is dressed in a monk's robe, seated in a contemplative pose while holding a book. A cross is visible at his chest, and a bell hangs near the top of the image. The engraving was created between 1590 and 1619 and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This depiction of Saint Theonas offers insight into the life of a religious figure and is a testament to the skillful artistry of Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert.
